Default New Member Here/ rust repair

Hi everyone, I've had my 91 camaro rs for about a year now, and am just now starting to really work on it.i really haven't done much, but before i start getting into the real mods, i have to take care of some body work. over the past month, some rust bubbles have started to form under the paint. I'm planning on sanding it down to get rid of the rust and repainting it. What else should I do, and is there a good site or book somewhere I can read to take me through it step by step?

Welcome to the forum, in any haynes manual there's a section on body work. Pick up one of those and that'll tell you how to take care of it.

Welcome.

Make sure you sand ALL of the rust off. I believe we use a primer that kills any remaining rust, can't remember the name, but I'll try find it.
